nutrition ana sleep.

What happens is rather a rest from the
rapid movements of waking life, during
which the slower activities of function
have time to overtake the faster ones.
Recuperation by nutrition is a more tardy
process than consumption by work and
heat production, and if the hare were not
to sleep the tortoise would be left hope
lessly behind. 1t is essential to health
that the tortoise should not lag far in the
rear, and sleep must be just as long as
will enable the laggard nutritive process
to overtake the impetuous destructive
processes. Practically, therefore, man
should sleep until he is refreshed.
The mistake many persons make Is in
attempting to govern what must be
matter of instinct by volitional control.
When we are weary we ought to sleep,
and when we wake we should get up.
There are no more vicious habits than
adopting measures to keep awake, or en-
ploying articles, or still worse, resorting
to drugs and other devices to induce or
prolong sleep. Doing is the very demon
alization of the sleep function, and from
that pernicious habit arises much of the
SO called sleeplessness-more accurately
wakefulness- which multitudes
suffer.-London Lancet.

South African diamond Thieves.

Some of the ''dodges" which have been
resorted to in order to carry diamonds
from the diggings have been not little re-
markable. We have only room, how
ever, for sample or two. Upon one oc-
casion it is related that an ingenious la
borer wrapped the stones in a small piece
of soft bread, the morsel being greedily
snapped by dog. The dog was care
fully looked after till the mine was left
behind, when it was ruthlessly killed to
obtain the hidden diamonds, which were
contained in the stomach. Domestic
fowls havs been trained to swallow the
smaller stones, which have afterward
been cut out of their crops. A parcel of
stolen gems has been known to have been
got out of well watched digging by
having been ingeniously fastened to the
hair of a horses tail.-Chambers'
Journal

weak, a helpless nation, Great Brit.
ian has been there for the purpose
of rapacity and plumber and con-
quest. England bears no good will
to this country. The memory OF two
defeats rankles, dare say, IN the
breasts of Englishmen. When l
say that Great Britain is not friend
" to this country, l mean that the
ruling classes are unfriendly to this
country. Her course has always
been one of wrong, insolencc and
outrage. England cheated the
South with false hopes of recognl-
ton and injured the North by viola
tions of neutrality. Her course IN
the treaty of Washington was actua-
ted solely by a fear OF the coDse-
quences to that country in the next
war in which she might be engaged
if she permitted the principle which
she established to stand undenied.
[ believe that there is no special re-
ciprocity of good will on the part OF
America towards England. There
are few Americans who do not re-
greet Waterloo. There are lew
Americans who do not recognize the
fact that the course of England to-
wards this country has been one OF
insolence, and suspicion, and out
rage from the beginning OF our ma
tional existence. If | read this
transaction Alright, there is no pur-
pose on the part of Great Britain to
secure peaceful solution, u pacific

ton IN the immediate future which
would be inevitable if both peoples
were left to the operation OF the nen-
trail laws of trade and society. see
very plainly what the purpose OF
Great Britain has been in the mat.
ter. She desires to render it impos'
sible for free, friendly, reciprocal re-
